Thanks Pat,
I used a technique in Photoshop.
I make a duplicate layer of the main layer (after I do all my data adjusting). I select that layer, select all (ctrl A)and shift the image one pixel in the opposite direction the stars are stretched... ie: if it appears the stars are elongated top to bottom I'll move the layer one pixel up.
I then select the layer mode as Darken.
For this image I made two copies of the background image and shifted one up and the other to the left, darkened both and flattened the image.
Hope that's clear as mud.

Kevin

Nice, what process for round stars?
